What if humans were nocturnal?

r/

How would that effect everyday aspects of how we live?

Would we keep different kinds of livestock? Grow different kinds of crops?

How would it effect our relationships and social habits?

    Oh man, I think it’d be wild. Everyone shuffling around like a bunch of sleep-deprived zombies. Imagine trying to date! It’s already hard enough, can you imagine awkward midnight dinners? Chickens and cows might get a break because we’d probably keep more nocturnal animals like bats or owls, and honestly, it might just be chaos trying to figure out which crops come out good without sunlight. I bet we’d have evolved to have crazy glowing eyes like some animals. People would probably be less social too ’cause half of us would still be grumpy waiting for coffee to kick in. Also, say goodbye to suntans and hello to moonburns.

    There would be much more depression! Humans need vitamin D to stay happy

    I pretty much am. I go to bed around 5am and wake up around 8am. (Yes, I’m one of the lucky people who doesn’t need much sleep). I spend a lot of time alone, which is fine. My husband and I have separate rooms because we used to wake each other up all the time.
